Differential cohesin loading marks paired and unpaired regions of platypus sex chromosomes at prophase I

Abstract Cohesins are vital for chromosome organisation during meiosis and mitosis. In addition to the important function in sister chromatid cohesion, these complexes play key roles in meiotic recombination, DSB repair, homologous chromosome pairing and segregation. Egg-laying mammals (monotremes)...
